Xbox 360

Going to check out this game when I get it.

Not trying to rain on your parade, but 2 quick reasons why you shouldn't get too jazzed for this one (graphically speaking anyway):

1). It's cross platform. That means it was designed for the low-end (lowest common denomenator) PS2 and Xbox and then they tried to add a few bells and whistles for the 360. It's basically a port of an existing current gen title. That shouldn't take away from gameplay, just wanted to throw a warning out that the graphics probably won't be in the "blow you away" dept.

2). Their website sucks donkey nut. I just hit enter on my keyboard without paying attention to the age restriction crap on the front page, and now they have a cookie in my history telling them to not even let me try again. Can't even look at the main page of the website. What a joke. ;P

Yep, scuttlebutt (nothing confirmed) has it that there were originally 600,000 scheduled for the US. However, 200,00 were subtracted and shipped to the UK.

Don't trust the scuttlebutt ;)

U.S. and Europe are not compatable as far as televisions go. We use NTSC. Europe uses PAL. That means that not only the guts of the hardware but the games themselves have to be developed seperately and produced separately. You can't possibly take a U.S. Xbox and make it work in Europe without major surgery.

Just FYI.

Sorry to rain on everyone's parade today.

Thanks, knew that sounded wrong, but didn't know why. I'll pass that info back to the guy who mentioned the rumor.
